I see the site still gets decent hits but I haven’t been updating for a long time due to working on a new site, PoweringUp.Me, which is my new fitness/health site. While I’ve still gotten the occasional statue and figure, I actually had a couple arrive last night, I’m unlikely to finish any other reviews anytime soon.

That said, the existing reviews will stay up since think they’re a good resource!

Quick Buying Options : The exclusive sold out quickly from Sideshow so you’ll have to check Ebay. If you want the regular, there’s the Sideshow waitlist, or BBTS.

First thing you’re going to notice is how absolutely huge he is! Coming in at 25 inches on top of a large base with a huge cape, Batman’s presence is obvious. He’d make a great centerpiece and between this, Superman, and the preview for Wonder Woman, it looks like a killer trinity is starting to form. Take a look at the comparison with the 12″ Captain America – Batman dwarfs him.

Putting Batman together is simple but you’ll want to be careful when you’re putting in the cape. It’s large, heavy, and because of the double-peg (large resin/small pin) system you have to jam it in there a bit and if you’re not careful, you might unbalance it. Just be careful around the cape stage. Everything else is nicely held in by magnets and easily connected.

The exclusive feature is a switch-out arm that has a batarang. It seems like a small change but when you think about how iconic the batarang is for Batman and how much more cool it looks than another clenched fist, if you’ve got the option you’ll want to grab it! The statue also features two switch-out heads, both surly and scruffy, making it look like Batman’s been on the job for a few days straight. Though I’m not familiar with the artists these heads are based off of, they’re both appealing in their own ways.

One thing to mention is that with one of the heads, it puts Batman facing you at a better angle to reveal the batarang. I’ve seen some people on the forums have issues with the paint on their faces – mostly in them coming out a little too dark similar to some of the old Indiana Jones Premium Format issues from years past. Fortunately, this wasn’t the case with mine!

A quick note on some of the other issues with this statue – I’ve seen people report the knees being jacked up, fabric sagging in the armpit area of the statue, and some bat symbols peeling off. I had a tiny bit of armpit sag but that could be easily pinned back. Considering the size of the production run, it’s no surprise there were some issues, but as long as you inspect your statue (even if you’re not planning to display it for a while!) you should be fine. I have heard that Sideshow is having some issues with replacements on the exclusive so best of luck that everyone gets as nice a piece as possible!

The statue itself is fantastic. It starts with the strong base, great texturing on what a number of statues and illustrations have placed Batman on – a gargoyle. That said, this is such a nice gargoyle in terms of sculpting and paint that you won’t just think to itself that it’s derivative but rather, taking a strong shot at being an iconic take on this. Batman himself is posed in a strong way and the resin cape helps that a lot. It billows out, giving him an impressive size, and I’m glad they went that route instead of making it fabric. It also allowed them to do some impressive texturing and shading work on the cape, which you can see in the picture. So many fabric folds and details that you don’t normally expect!

The fabric they’ve used on Batman is great as well. The pattern makes it look slightly like some sort of body armor but it’s thin enough to show plenty of definition and to make Batman an imposing physical presence. Sure, realistically you wouldn’t show definition through body armor, but he is a comic book hero.

Sideshow’s put out a truly impressive Batman statue. Strong sculpt and pose, paint, and fabric usage. The sheer size and weight of him add to the experience and while he’s not quite my favourite Batman statue, he’s super high up. The only reason he’s not my favourite is the style of the faces they’ve used – while excellent sculpts, I view Batman as a little different but I know that’s a subjective choice and the quality of this is just superb. While it is a high edition run, I have no doubt even the regular will sell out in a couple months!

http://www.whatsyourobsession.com/pop-culture-shock-pcs-judge-death-exclusive-statue-review/#commentsSat, 01 Feb 2014 17:55:05 +0000http://www.whatsyourobsession.com/?p=11848There aren’t that many Judge Dredd high quality collectibles and when it came to one of the more interesting villains in the run, I had to grab him! Here’s my take on the Pop Culture Shock Judge Death – Death Sentence exclusive statue.

Quick Buying Options : Due to the revised PCS ordering system, the Judge Death Exclusive will only be up on the aftermarket so check Ebay.

Note : in the review I have the Judge helmet hand on upside-down. While I prefer how this looks, it’s not the intended display method! I should’ve put up a couple pictures of how it looks by default but I overlooked that. My bad!

It’s hard to tell from my box photo but the packing on this is intense. Most of the arms and legs are double-padded so it takes a while to remove from the package and get it setup but when you see how thin some of the parts are, you’ll know why. Which isn’t to say that they’re delicate, they’re not, just that you’re dealing with an undead skeleton and a little bit of pressure during shipping could’ve caused a lot of unhappy customers.

The Death Sentence exclusive comes with a switch-out head and two extra switch-out arms, an impaled gang member, and an impaled Judge helmet. The other options are great but the Judge helmet is by far the best option. The arms and the dragon on the shoulder snap on via magnets and I never felt they were loose at all.

I shot from a few different angles in the photos/video because I wanted to show how the statue looks when you’re looking up at it, at eye level, and looking down. I vastly preferred how the statue looks when it’s below eye level, the pose and all the details of the piece looked better that way.

I’m always fond of statues that go for the extra details, really spice up a piece so you’ve got a lot to look at and appreciate over time. Take a look at the base, it’s painted nicely enough and has some different texture work along the gravestone and ground but where it really shines is once you turn the statue around, there’s an under layer of skulls.

On the statue itself, there’s tons of detail work in the folding fabric, especially on the areas that would be tight to a skeleton. The parts where there’s no muscle and just bone, particularly the stomach area are fantastic, and there’s some nice detail along the shoulder pieces as well.

The paint is consistently solid with a variety of different finishes. The metallic shine of the suit contrasts to the matte ground and the light gloss on the hands (and the slightly heavier gloss of the claws). About the only thing that doesn’t look perfect is the way the blood looks on the torn off head of the gang member but that’s a small complaint.

I can’t see Judge Death fans ever getting a better collectible than this. Though considering how much the exclusive parts add to the display options of the statue, I’d have to say I heavily recommend it over the other one and it might be difficult to part with the after-market prices for it unless you’re a huge Judge Dredd fan. Still, very cool piece!

Buying Options : Due to the revised PCS ordering system, the Judge Death Exclusive will only be up on the aftermarket so check Ebay.
